    In the book “Warriors of Japan as Portrayed in the War Tales”, as the title suggests, author Paul Varley studies numerous war tales from hundreds of years of Japanese history, throughout the rise of the samurai warrior culture and the societal change that went along with it. From ancient war tales like the Shōmonki to tales firmly in the medieval times like the Taiheiki, the changes in battlefield customs and warrior society are presented and studied as they change and evolve. Despite all the social changes occurring in these time periods, a certain element stays the same throughout all these tales, the warriors themselves.…

    Body Paragraph#1: Both the Europeans and the Japanese had successful warriors that helped them succeed. In both feudal Japan and Europe, constant warfare made warriors the most important class. Called the “Knights” in Europe and “Samurai” in Japan, the warriors served their local lords. In both cases, Knight and Samurais were bound by a code of ethics. Knights were supposed to agree to the concept of Chivalry, while the Samurai were bound by the Bushido, or “The way of the warrior.” Both Knight and Samurai rode horses into battles, used swords, and wore armor. The European armor, which was worn by the knights, was usually all metal, made of chain, or plate metal. Japanese…

    Samurai William

    • 7 Pages

    In Giles Milton’s novel, Samurai William, the reader is taken to the other side of the globe to experience the history of old world Japan. Though out the book, Milton provides reason for complex historical events and actions, while still communicating the subtleties and mysterious customs of the Japanese. The novel also closely examines the wide range of relationships between different groups of Europeans and Asians, predominantly revolving around the protagonist, William Adams. The book documents the successes and failures that occur between the two civilizations, then links them back to either the positive or negative relationship they have. As the book goes on, the correlation is obvious. Milton shows us the extreme role that religion, etiquette and trade played in establishing positive relations between visiting Europeans and the Asian civilizations.…

    Musui's Story

    • 1634 Words
    • 7 Pages

    The varying social interactions between status groups in Katsu Kokichi’s autobiography, Musui’s Story, convey a shift from the hierarchically strict Heian/Kamakura epochs to the more socially open late Tokugawa period. Throughout the work, Katsu illustrates his various dealings and communications with peasants, merchants, artisans and fellow samurai. While in theory a social hierarchy still presided, Musui’s Story dismisses the notion that social groups remained isolated from each other, as in previous Japanese eras, and instead reveals that people of Japan in the late-Tokugawa-era mingled with one another during their lives, regardless of their social status. Considering the demise of the aristocracy that inhibited so much of Heian Japan, the late Tokugawa era fostered the idea that no matter your status or class it remained possible to interact with anyone outside the imperial family. Musui’s Story served as an indicator of transition from status groups that people attain through birth, to class groups that anyone can achieve no matter their ranking upon birth. While better-positioned social groups in society still garnered additional respect, it did not mean that their position in society remained fixed and could not move up or down the social hierarchy due to their actions. Katsu’s work personifies a prime source for understanding that while status group ideals still endured, a clear rift continued forming between the ideals and the reality of Japan at the time when it came to social interactions.…

    Japan was in a place of constant change towards the beginning of the 18th century. While the Shogun, Tsunayoshi, attempted to expand his control, the social classes were changing; a system that was once enforced by the samurai was being taken away and replaced. Asano and his samurai were the exception. From the beginning, the concept of honor and redemption is obvious. Lord Asano is an honorable man who is attempting to live by the laws set by Shogun Tsunayoshi. Asano is prompted to bribe Kira (master of ceremonies), but due to his tradition values, Asano refuses. In an attempt to protect himself from the bribery and corruption, he injures Kira. Asano was allowed to commit seppuku, and it was a disgrace to the honor and tradition of traditional Japanese values. Following the death of Lord Asano, his masterless samurai become obsessed on getting revenge. After learning that Kira had survived they become obsessed to avenge Asano and redeem his name. Following the Confucian saying, “No man may live under the same sky with the murderer of his lord,” and they go to avenge on the death of their master.…

    In the first battle scene the Japanese army is unprepared even though that had a huge advantage over the samurai as far as technology goes. The samurai used bow and arrows, swords, spears, and rode on horseback. They wore traditional dress such as large metal armor and ornate headpieces. The Japanese army wore modern outfits and fired their arms in synchronized lines. The samurai reigned victorious. It was considered an honor among the samurai to die in battle while fighting for what they believed in. They practiced a form of suicide known as hari cari if they were disloyal. Even if they were wounded in battle and were soon to die, they'd rather kill themselves then be defeated by the enemy. The American general is captured as a prisoner and brought back to the samurai village. He is taught "bushida" or the ways of the warriors. The village was very primitive and showed no signs of being modernized. Women were subordinate to men, which was shown when Taka was forced to obey her brother. These people were very religious and practiced a form of Buddhism which included deep meditation.…
